Medal of Honor and UndergroundEdit

The K98k is the standard German infantry weapon in the original Medal of Honor and the sequel, Underground. It is the German Army's primary offensive weapon for the early-mid part of the campaign, it is only seen in the hands of enemies it is quite powerful, taking 2 hits to kill the player almost instantly depending on the difficulty

Single playerEdit

The K98 rifle once again makes a return to the Medal of Honor series, it comes in 2 forms, standard and scoped. The standard form is usable only in the D-Day mission, if the player doesn't pick up the Springfield in the bomb crater, though it is seen in all missions. The sniper variant is available to the player once, in the level where the player must retrieve vital intelligence for a new tank. The K98 sniper is highly powerful, being a 1-hit kill to the torso and head.

MultiplayerEdit

It is used in multiplayer for those who choose the rifleman class on the Axis team. It is highly powerful, being a 2-hit kill to the chest and 1-hit kill to the head. It is reloaded via a stripper clip, which makes reloading around 2.5 seconds. A sniper version is also available, but it can be found in the single player campaign as well as the multiplayer games. The scoped versions is slightly more powerful, being a 1-hit kill almost anywhere to the body, though the drawback is that it reloads 1 round at a time.

Medal of Honor: FrontlineEdit

Frontline
Damage	Medium (Cannot tell for certain as it is enemy use only)
Magazine Size	5 rounds
Used by	German Armed forces
Clear

The K98k is for enemy use only, just like in the original two Medal of Honors. It is not as powerful as it was in Allied Assault, as it takes 3 hits to kill the player in the difficult settings.

Medal of Honor: European AssaultEdit

European Assault
Damage	100
Magazine Size	5
Maximum Ammunition	150
Reload Time	2
Rate of Fire	64 RPM (Bolt takes 1 second to cycle)
Range	500 meters
Recoil	Low
Fire Mode	Bolt-Action
Used by	Germany Army
Clear

In European Assault, the K98k can be found throughout the campaign. It now has gained an overhaul for the better in European Assault, it is highly powerful, being able to take out an enemy in 1 shot to the head or chest, it also boasts low recoil, which is incredible for a rifle of such power. But it's drawbacks are its low ammo capacity of 5 rounds, and it's bolt-action nature. These choices make it a good weapon, but it is advised to use a pistol or SMG for close quarters as a bolt-action preforms terrible outside of medium-long range combat. In multiplayer, the Kar98 is the gun originally gained when being an Axis rifleman. It is a fairly strong weapon, but most players would rather upgrade it to a G43

Medal of Honor: VanguardEdit

Vanguard
Damage	100
Magazine Size	5
Maximum Ammunition	150
Reload Time	2 seconds
Rate of Fire	64 RPM (Bolt takes 1 second to cycle)
Range	Infinite (Scoped version), 500m+ (Without Scope)
Recoil	Low
Fire Mode	Bolt-Action
Used by	German Army
Clear

In Vanguard, it is exactly the same as it was in European Assault, sharing the same accuracy, same power, and the same skin. It can kill with a shot to any part of the body, and is very good for reload canceling as it's reload is glitched and is loaded as soon as the reload animation starts, somewhat making up for it's slow rate of fire due to its bolt-action nature. It is very common throughout the early levels, but later in the game during Market Garden and Operation Varsity the MP40 will gain dominance as the German infantry main weapon.

Medal of Honor: AirborneEdit

Medal of Honor: Airborne
Damage	100
Magazine Size	5
Maximum Ammunition	120
Reload Time	Approx. 5 seconds, reduced to 3 with the stripper clip upgrade
Rate of Fire	30 rpm
Recoil	Medium-high
Fire Mode	Bolt-action
Used by	Italian Army, Wehrmacht (Multiplayer)
Clear

This gun is a selectable rifle in Medal of Honor: Airborne.

Single PlayerEdit

In single player, the Kar98k is a favored pick for the Wehrmacht forces. It is only seen in the hands of Italian Blackshirts, later on in the game it is replaced by the Gewehr 43 as the main Axis Infantry rifle. It has low rate of fire and reload, but high power, high accuracy, and the ability to launch grenades.

MultiplayerEdit

The K98 rifle is one of 2 rifles the player can select for the Axis side. It is very powerful, almost always a one-shot kill, but is bolt-action, with a slower bolt cycling time than the past 2 Medal of Honors, and initially reloads one bullet at a time. The following are possible upgrades for the rifle:

• Polished Match-Grade Bolt: Increased rate of fire
• Stripper-clip: Faster reload
• Rifle Grenade Launcher: Equips a grenade launcher

These upgrades make it a good choice for mid to long-range, but an automatic or close range weapon is needed should an enemy attack or forced into a close quarters area.
